Outdoorsman hears vocalizations near Tinkham Campground

Loud, human-like whistles were then heard from multiple directions to the east, appearing to go back and forth for about a minute before stopping abruptly with a branch snap. Occasional branch-crunch sounds continued nearby for about an hour while the witness stayed at the fire, then slept in the truck without feeling threatened.

Hiker encounters intimidating beating sounds and heavy running footsteps

The witness parked to hike a closed-area trail and heard loud, fast drumming sounds from two directions that could be felt as percussion. After smelling a strong unfamiliar musky odor, the witness heard and felt heavy footsteps moving rapidly through brush ahead and then across a second trail as if cutting them off. The witness fled cross-country back to the vehicle without ever seeing the source and heard the drumming again near the vehicle.

A tall, very muscular, reddish-brown entity with huge shoulders and no apparent neck was seen walking about 50 feet away. The witness retreated toward camp, perceived the smell as moving with them and believed the animal kept pace and followed to the campsite, then left the mountain without packing up the tent.

After a brief exchange of looks the witness fled around to the front and joined the family in the car without telling them what had been seen.
